White perch are numerous in Lake Erie now and are a predator on the fry and small walleyes, bass, natural hatched steelheads and yellow perch. A foreign invader also with a spiny ray that punctures the intestines of consuming fish. They are best eaten fresh caught with skinless filets. Freezing makes the flesh mushy. Please for the good of our fisheries do not release them back alive. They are a good fertilizer for your garden if you have one.
